Karlsson and Singh lead the way

Robert Karlsson and Jeev Milkha Singh were confirmed as first-round co-leaders of the 90th US PGA Championship as the rain-delayed opening day's play was finally completed at Oakland Hills.

Play had been suspended for 85 minutes yesterday evening, leaving 18 players out on the course by the time darkness prevented further play.

Karlsson and Singh had posted early two-under-par rounds of 68 before the weather interruptions.

Argentina's Andres Romero was out on the course at two under with two holes to play when play was called to a halt, but he bogeyed the par-four 18th to post a 69 - one shot behind the leaders. Sergio Garcia, Ken Duke, Billy Mayfair and Sean O'Hair carded 69s on Thursday.

Romero said he was happy to have got off to such a good start on a tough course featuring unforgiving rough, long par-threes and undulating greens.

"It's very tough but similar to the US Open at Torrey Pines with the rough," Romero said. "You have to be straight.

"It's a very good round to be one shot behind the leaders and it's a very good start to the PGA Championship."
